Need directional audio system for convention

September 18, 2007 2:03 PM

Looking for directional audio system suitable for convention floor.

I am developing an interactive video activity for use at a convention next month; I have a kiosk with 3 touch-screen monitors that will be in close proximity, and I would like to provide focused audio so that the participants will only hear audio from their program, not the adjacent ones.

I want something reliable, durable; price is secondary.

Sounds like a three-dimensional soundscape solution may fit your needs. Hardware and software included.

I've heard these at audio tradeshows. The sound quality is decent but not brilliant, the directionality is impressive.

Myer makes an incredible parabolic full range speaker. I've met John Meyer at a few trade shows and he's always a really approachable and really smart guy.
